I just finished listening to you podcast on Khangabyagon and it struck me that you all said that this was a conlang for a ‘magical language’.
And I know from Arika Okrent’s book that Laadan is for expressing the views of women better.

So I would like to recommend an episode where you all just have some fun going over the different conlangs that have a stated purpose or philosophy nothing all that in-depth but a broad set touching on what appears to be how that purpose is being addressed, detailed vocabulary or certain features of the language.

Apart from having a ghastly spelling system, even by Celtic standards, I personally don’t know too much about Cornish. I do know that until a few years ago, different Cornish revival groups were at each other’s throats over the question of orthography.

I really can’t think of any linguists whose books one should avoid. Pinker drives me up a wall, but I figure people can work out how they feel about Universal Grammar on their own.

I’ve also seen an example of two successive aspirated stops in Greek: ὁ φθόγγος, which the Perseus dictionary defines as “any clear, distinct sound”. It appeared in my textbook when one of the characters was telling his sister the story of Odysseus and Polyphemus. I’d grab the exact sentence, but my textbook is elsewhere at the moment.
